Memorial Day

On this day of remembrance, I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to our servicemen and women that have bravely laid down their lives in the name of freedom and compassion.
They have served to defend those unable to defend themselves. They have served to provide liberty for those that have seen their liberty denied. They have served in response to hardship, oppression, catastrophe, disaster, and death.
In wars and conflicts spanning the globe, they have answered the call and responded, putting first their fellowman. As Americans, they have served on my behalf…on our behalf.
They have given their lives through their service. Customarily, it is on this day, Memorial Day, that we remember them and pay tribute to those that have given so selflessly.
In humble gratitude and reverence, THEY ARE REMEMBERED.
Amen to that, Jeff. We lost a cousin in Afghanistan this year; it was a terrible hardship on our family, but most of all on his Mom, Dad, and siblings. Let’s not forget those that are left behind; thanks to you as well for your ULTIMATE sacrifice!
Thank you for serving our country. If it wasn’t for y’all, we wouldn’t be doing the things that we are today.
Thank you!
Thank you!!!
Thank you all so much for our freedom.
Thank you, soldiers, for everything you have ever done for us. Thank you for giving up your life to fight for us; you will be remembered in our hearts forever. We could never thank you enough. Y’all are our HEROES.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!
Hoorah…………….
God Bless YOU.
God bless you one and all ……. on this day and every day.
Thank you from my heart,
Donna

“The roses blossom white and red
On tombs where weary soldiers lie;
Flags wave above the honored dead
And martial music cleaves the sky.
Above their wreath-strewn graves we kneel,
They kept the faith and fought and fight.
Through flying lead and crimson steel
They plunged for freedom and the right
May we, their grateful children, learn
Their strength, who lie beneath this sod,
Who went through fire and death to earn
At last the accolade of God.”
Thank you, with love!!
Thank you so much for all the men and women of courage and strength of character. I appreciate you all and thank God for you. God bless and protect you in all that you do, and may He watch over your families.
Not only with our thanks for the men and women serving in the military today for our freedom, let us remember they volunteer for this, and for that alone we give you all our thanks! Keep God first in your hearts and return home to us safe!!
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for doing what you are doing. There are no words that would express to you the gratitude I feel. My son-in-law is stationed in S. Korea. He and my daughter were just married this past March while he was on R & R. I watch her miss him on a daily basis and it breaks my heart to know this is going on all over the world. Families separated by war or distance. I pray for you safe return and may God keep you in his constant care. I salute all of you. Families too, for giving the ultimate sacrifice. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
Thank You!
